Do you seriously think this is fucking fair?

America bombing Japan.
I mean, their weapons were so powerful.

Japan started the war with the bigger guns and a better position. It kinda turned around at midway when we took down a crapload of their good fighter pilots though and they were never able to recover. Though they did try to develop a death ray...

obviously it didn't work but...

It was a death ray how is that not awesome?
What was the original thread about?

America bombing Japan.
I mean, their weapons were so powerful.

But they wouldn't give up no matter how nicley we asked.

 

[Hazzard65]

We knew they would hit Pearl Harbour beforehand, and the bomb never had to be dropped, they just needed a test bed for it. The war was already in the bag, and casualties were never an issue, which is why America went straight back to war with Korea.

As for L4D1 or 2 being unfair, it is those moments when you are completely boned and somehow survive that make the games so exciting. You look around your feet and find yourself thigh deep in zombie gore, feeling like a million dollar bad ass.

Besides if you think it is too difficult, lower the difficulty?

Also yes, Jockeys are complete shite. A) The target survivor can fight back slowing you down. B) Unhindered the movement is still slow C) They are very slow to actually reach their target. D) Their laugh is an advertisement that an unchallenging annoyance is about to present itself. E) They are weak as fuck. A few rounds is all it takes to waste another 30 seconds of your possible griefing time as a zombie player.

On the other hand the spitter can be incredibly overpowered.

Superior internet connections. RAAAAAAAGGGGGEEEE.

And CoD4 & MW2, you have 6 level 50-60's versus 6 20-30's. Wtf?

 

[A random person]

Super Mario Galaxy, that one-hit run through a lava level. Guess why.

Also from the same game, any race with that shadow thing as Luigi. And that purple coin galaxy of flipping platforms and disintegrating liquid. And the bomb throwing minigame.

Now that I think of it, while it may be simple to merely beat, getting all 120 stars in that game is brutal.

 

[grimsprice]

Stop derailing this thread!!!!!

I'd like to add to the L4D2 comments.

1st. I don't fear witches any more. I kill about 85% of them without taking damage.
2nd. I fucking hate spitters, jockeys, and chargers.
3rd. The damage from the normal zombies is just to fucking high on expert. The last chapter is impossible on every level.

 

[Acaroid]

Those moments where you are pinned in a corner, outnumbered or outmatched beyond youur wildest imaginations, and other times where you think to yourself, "Do you seriously think this is fucking fair?"

This also pretains to teamstacking if that is the gripe that fits here.

Anyhoo. L4D2 and L4D on expert. And Borderlands.

I love and hate that game so much...

those damn space marine dude with the shields in old haven in borderlands... Lucky my hunter can take them out 1 hit headshots... but it isnt always easy getting those criticals and when you get a few of them around + badass ones makes it a bit taxing... Just thinking how much it would suck for the other classes.

 

[dududf]

I've always wondered....
How do you FUCK Fairness?

Does fairness have a secret oriface we do not know about?

L4D2 doing a realism expert run on The parish.

That's just cruel, not only does all of the spec infected aim for you, but if you die then you lose the level. ****

Took me a couple of hours to beat it ...

Stupid AI...

 

[Sonicron]

Rrrrrrrrrrrrr... Silver Surfer for the NES MUST. FUCKING. DIE!

 

[Samurai Goomba]

Ninja Gaiden.

I just got to this part where these strange mutant things are everywhere, and I had to make my way back to the blacksmith. They appear in groups of three. They're fast, smart and react impossibly fast to all my moves. The second I block, they do an unblockable throw. They can also attack and any range. And there are three of them.

It's just not fair!

 

[Internet Kraken]

Well I recently felt this way when playing Osmos. I can't beat this one ridiculous level in it.

Spoiler

The objective of this level is to absorb all of the attractors, which are the big red orbs that the small motes orbit around. In order to absorb them, you need to be bigger than them. How do you get bigger than them? By absorbing motes that are smaller than you. Luckily at the start of the level you are stuck in orbit with a bunch of small motes so you can absorb them to get bigger. But doing that won't make you big enough to absorb the attractor you are currently orbiting. So you have to break out of orbit and head to another attractor. But make sure you do it quickly! If you don't, by the time you get to another attractor the motes will have morphed together, making many of them to big for you to absorb. But that doesn't matter, since you'll probably screw up when breaking orbit, sending you hurdling into a larger mote or the void, both of which instantly kill you. So then you have to start over again. Combine how easy it is to die with the large amount of time you spend in each life, and you end up with a frustrating experience. And the point of this game is to be mellow and atmospheric.

By the way, the mote you control is the tiny blue dot at the bottom of the screen.

Left 4 Dead 2 was getting me down today, big time.

I was trying to complete Dead Centre on Expert with my cousin and two bots (man do I hate bots...) and the AI director was being a total douche (it feels great having this scapegoat for my rage, bless you mr director!).

First it was pulling the old 'double spawn' trickery, in which it spawned two of the same special infected, so I would kill a smoker, step around the corner and get caught by another fucking smoker. Double smoker was alright, but when you get battered into the wall by a charger, stagger away on 25 hp and then immediatly get battered by ANOTHER FREAKING CHARGER (CAPS MEANS IM SRS GUYS) its getting silly. You naughty director you!

And the horde attacks. So. Many. Horde. Attacks.
[Incoming Horde] "Shit, group up, take em down!" [Incoming Horde] "Are you kidding, we just had one 30 seconds ago?" [Incoming Horde] "YOU ARE TAKING THE PISS!" [Tank Music] [Incoming Horde] "FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!?!?!"

Ach hem. Sorry about that. But yeah, it was really, REALLY being hard on us.

I wanna be the guy, every level of it.

Truer words are seldom spoken on this forum. That game is the textbook on how not to treat your players (though for what it's worth, sometimes the developer must be the dom, because that's how we like it).

On topic:
Anyone play DotA or the knock-off variants HoN or LoL?
Basically half the games are you and the special needs clan vs. the top 5 players on the net.

I wanna be the guy, every level of it.

Every. Fucking. Inch. Of it.

OT: Basically what Moosebomber said. I really cannot think of a better example than that.

 

[GrandAm]

America bombing Japan.

They started it.

Not only that, but the USA didn't even have that weapon at the time Japan started it.

If it was a barfight...it is like somebody jumps you from behind, as they are beating and kicking you while you are down, you mangage to get back on your feet and beat them back off from you, only they keep coming at you, you ask them to stop and they say they never will. While all this was going on you invent a gun (as if guns didn't exist before) after it is assembled, ready to fire, and presented they keep attacking. So you put a bullet in one of his kneecaps. After wrything for a bit in pain he tries to attack you again even though you tell him you'll put a second bullet in him. Sure enough he won't stop so you put a bullet in his other kneecap. Only then does he realize this is not a fight he can win and gives up.

Now I would feel bad that this guy is always going to walk with a limp, but we did not want to be in the fight in the first place.

 

[Aerodyamic]

Sort of agree on the Borderlands front.
Fighting 30 Spider-ants for 20-30 minutes is not fun.

And one of the Seymour battles in Final Fantasy X, the one where he turns you to stone and then his Mortibody or whatever attacks them and shatters them, taking away a party member and leaving you permanently one man down for the rest of the fight. Even more annoting if you use an Over-drive and he does three fecking times in a row before you can attack.

Why does everyone seem to have all these problems with killing Spider-Ants? Don't any of you play as a Soldier? My biggest problems are multiple Badmotha Whatevers, but I'm on the 2nd playthrough, with multiple Eridian weapons, and a fast healing shield with almost 900 points of shield, so I knew that was coming.

Everything else is basically cake... but I do still have to go deal with Baron Flynt, so it may get tougher yet.

Demon's Souls.

That whole game is so fucking unfair.
